Ben & Jerry’s Force Recall Of Porn Videos

Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream won a temporary battle against Caballero Video when the latter agreed to destroy all the material used for creating the X-rated videos that closely resemble Ben & Jerry’s product names. The lawsuit remains pending although Judge Kaplan who is looking after the case has asked for terminating the sales of pornographic videos. His ruling, however, did not mention a recall which Caballero Video seems to have done voluntarily. The DVD titles included puns of Ben & Jerry’s popular products which were sold with titles like ‘Boston Cream Thighs’ and ‘Peanut Butter D-Cups.’ Even the images depicted on the DVDs mimicked the ice cream company’s own images with the slogans being easily recognizable as puns. Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc promptly sued Caballero for trademark infringement. Ben & Jerry’s has stated that it has sold 45.6 million gallons in three years and cannot let pornographic videos tarnish its image. Well, the lawsuit has generated a worldwide interest and many will be waiting eagerly for the final outcome.
